W. A. ROOSEVELT Biography, b. 1833 MI to OH to WI

RMunns7272 — 6 Apr 2007 4:22:26 GMT

From "History of La Crosse County, Wisconsin", 1881, p. 788.

City of La Crosse

W. A. ROOSEVELT, plumber and gas-fitter; was born Sept. 17, 1833, in Oakland Co., Mich.; moved with his parents into Detroit in 1837, remaining there until 1840, when he removed to Sandusky City, Ohio; he learned the machinist's trade in Sandusky, and, in 1853, emigrated to La Crosse, where he arrived Jan. 17; upon his arrival at La Crosse, he chartered the steam ferry-boat Honeoye, which he ran during the first part of the season, when he purchased a third interest in the Delia, and was engineer on this for a short time, running between Dubuque and St. Paul; he disposed of his interest in this boat in the fall of 1857, and, up to 1860, was engaged most of the time as engineer and captain on the Mississippi River. From 1860 to 1869, he was constantly engaged as a steamboat engineer; Jan. 1, 1869, he established his present business in La Crosse, since which time he has successfully conducted it.

ROOSEVELT, THEODORE, JR. - Congressional Medal of Honor Recipient WW II

jasche — 21 Jan 2007 5:33:46 GMT

ROOSEVELT, THEODORE, JR.

Rank and organization: brigadier general, U.S. Army. Place and date: Normandy invasion, 6 June 1944. Entered service at: Oyster Bay, N.Y. Birth: Oyster Bay, N.Y. G.O. No.: 77, 28 September 1944. Citation: for gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty on 6 June 1944, in France. After 2 verbal requests to accompany the leading assault elements in the Normandy invasion had been denied, Brig. Gen. Roosevelt's written request for this mission was approved and he landed with the first wave of the forces assaulting the enemy-held beaches. He repeatedly led groups from the beach, over the seawall and established them inland. His valor, courage, and presence in the very front of the attack and his complete unconcern at being under heavy fire inspired the troops to heights of enthusiasm and self-sacrifice. Although the enemy had the beach under constant direct fire, Brig. Gen. Roosevelt moved from one locality to another, rallying men around him, directed and personally led them against the enemy. Under his seasoned, precise, calm, and unfaltering leadership, assault troops reduced beach strong points and rapidly moved inland with minimum casualties. He thus contributed substantially to the successful establishment of the beachhead in France .

ROOSEVELT, THEODORE; Congressional Medal of Honor Recipient SPANISH AMERICAN WAR

jasche — 26 Dec 2006 7:00:31 GMT

ROOSEVELT, THEODORE

The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, March 3, 1863, has awarded in the name of The Congress the Medal of Honor to

LIEUTENANT COLONEL THEODORE ROOSEVELT
UNITED STATES ARMY

for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty:

Lieutenant Colonel Theodore Roosevelt distinguished himself by acts of bravery on 1 July, 1898, near Santiago de Cuba, Republic of Cuba, while leading a daring charge up San Juan Hill. Lieutenant Colonel Roosevelt, in total disregard for his personal safety, and accompanied by only four or five men, led a desperate and gallant charge up San Juan Hill, encouraging his troops to continue the assault through withering enemy fire over open countryside. Facing the enemy's heavy fire, he displayed extraordinary bravery throughout the charge, and was the frst to reach the enemy trenches, where he quickly killed one of the enemy with his pistol, allowing his men to continue the assault. His leadership and valor turned the tide in the Battle for San Juan Hill. Lieutenant Colonel Roosevelt's extraordinary heroism and devotion to duty are in keeping with the highest traditions of military service and reflect great credit upon himself, his unit, and the United States Army.

Calling All Male Roosevelts

cliffsheets — 20 Dec 2006 9:31:44 GMT

I'm helping my cousin with his Genealogy. His surname is Roosevelt. His Grandfather told me that they are related to Theodore Roosevelt, but he said he gave all his research to his Granddaughter and she said she gave it to her dad and her dad doesn't know where it is, so I've only been able to go back to about 1885 in Eau Clause, Wisconsin. - - - - - -

I'm looking for Male Roosevelts who will submit their pedigree chart and a DNA sample to www.smgf.org (it's completely free--they even pay for the postage)

still looking.

Claes van roosevelt was married in 1822? Can any one tell me anything about their wedding? Was it in the US? Would his wife have been called the Roosevelt Princess? My husbands ancestors were supposed to have arrived in America on the same ship as the Roosevelt princess before 1837. Thanks very much!

Elliott Roosevelt's latest descendants

John Gizzi — 8 Dec 2004 6:58:12 GMT

I have been interested for many years in the Roosevelt family geneology.

It would seem that by now, the grandchildren of Elliott Roosevelt are married and have children of their own. Can anyone give a fifth generation of Roosevelts, including dates of birth?
lf so, can anyone also say where his grandchildren are residing and if any are pursuing political careers? I note that Elliott, III, who is 41, is partner in a Roosevelt Capital firm, belongs to the Dallas (TX) Council on Foreign Relations, and is on the board of the Jefferson Award Foundation. As one who has written ex-tensively on political dynasties, it has been a long time since any of FDR's heirs have taken to politics successfully.

Ruth Chandler Lindsley is the oldest of Elliott's twelve grandchildren at 47 and the youngest is Chandler Caroline Roosevelt at 39. One, Dana Donner Roosevelt (son of Wm. Donner Roosevelt) is apparently deceased.

I am looking for information on my great-great grandmother, MARGARET ROOSEVELT (1829-1908). She was the daughter of GEORGE ROSENFELLER, born in Germany (abt. 1776) and her mother's name was Mary. My family history claims that Margaret was a cousin to President Theodore Roosevelt, and I am trying to trace her ancestry back to establish this link. I would sincerely appreciate any information that would help. Thanks so much :) Paula (Malcuit) Breedlove.

James Hamilton Roosevlet

M. Glover — 7 Sep 2002 12:28:46 GMT

query dated 7 Sept 2002 should read James Hamilton not Hames (typo.) Am looking for descendants of James also. Family stories indicate that James' father married the governess that his father had hired for younger siblings. James was disinherited because father wanted to marry governess Catherine Jones. All three men were named James. Very confusing. Please e-mail me.

Roosevelts came from near HAARLEM, NORTH HOLLAND, FDR's own words

Gregory Thompson — 15 Aug 2003 12:05:49 GMT

Roosevelts came from near HAARLEM, NORTH HOLLAND, FDR's own words: "...There's a tradition in our family that the
Roosevelts came from somewhere near HAARLEM...". [FDR to Delgado in 1938: Franklin Delano Roosevelt library,
President's Personal File 73; also, see pg. 25 of FDR: A BIOGRAPHY by Ted Morgan (1985). HAARLEM is the artistic & scientific center of NORTH HOLLAND. "FDR prefered to believe that he descended from the more prominent
HAARLEM ROOSEVELTS rather than from the common
Vossemeer Roosevelts, who produced nothing but clergymen
and schoolmasters. In 1938, he told interviewer, Virginia
Pearce Delgado: "I don't believe a word about this Zeeland
business [Zeeland was the province to which the island of
Tholen belonged]. I think it's all a grand publicity stunt someone thought up to atttact tourists off the beaten track.
There's a tradition in our family that the Roosevelts came from
somewhere near HAARLEM..."" --pg. 25 of FDR: A BIOGRAPHY by Ted Morgan (1985) & in notes section of his book reference the FDR statement to Delgado is given as FDR

I'm looking for information on FDR's family, namely children and grandchildren, etc. I'd like to know the spouses of each child (I think there were 18 marriages between them all). Also, info on Sarah Delano Roosevelt's side would be appreciated as that is how I'm related to the family. I can trace Sarah's line back to 1477 in England so anyone who can help can gain literally thousands of names through the work I've done. Thanks.
